Greek

The first line reads ΝΥΝ ΤΟΙ ΕΕΛΔΕΣΘΩ ΠΟΛΕΜΟΣ ΚΑΚΟΣ. The line comes from Homer's Iliad, Book 16, line 494, and modified to lowercase reads, "νῦν τοι ἐελδέσθω πόλεμος κακός" (transliterated as "nun toi eeldesthō polemos kakos"), meaning, "Now you must embrace this evil war".

The second line reads ΡΕΕ Δ ΑΙΜΑΤΙ ΓΑΝΑ. This line comes from the Iliad Book 4, line 451, and modified to lowercase reads, "ρεε δ' αϊματι γανα" (transliterated as "ree d'aimati gana"), meaning, "the ground ran with blood".

The third line reads ΘΑΝΑΤΟΥ ΔΕ ΜΕΛΑΝ ΝΕΦΟΣ ΑΜΦΕΚΑΛΥΨΕΝ. This also comes from the Iliad, Book 16, line 350, and modified to lowercase reads, "θανάτου δὲ μέλαν νέφος ἀμφεκάλυψεν" (transliterated as "thanatou de melan nephos amphekalupsen"), meaning, "then death's black cloud enveloped".
